Delighted to find your channel - loved the video really great. 👍👍 might there be old photos of the mysterious area before it became overgrown that you could find locally? I'm in the UK & just love looking around the old churches & graveyards etc.. here even the most simple have a unique aged beauty.
I’m in the process of trying to contact one of the managers who might know what this area is at the cemetery so hopefully I have an answer and maybe possibly maybe pictures before it was overgrown
Wow Tony!! I wanted you to get into that hidden gem too. What a find. Thank you for the peeks inside those gorgeous mausoleums and the relaxing walkabout. Deb of Oz.
This is a great cemetery. The family mausoleums looked to be in good condition, but need a good sweeping out, and perhaps oil the hinges and locks on the doors. Since you did this video, were you able to find out anything from the cemetery management about that tower, and that enclosed area with the open crypts? Thank you very much for great walking tour Tony, have a great day.
Dang it, I had my Reminder Set set and it didn't work again. Looks like a typical Bay Area day. Great walk - Thanks for taking us. I especially enjoy the local history your walks bring. Take care.
At around 12:04 when you came up on the big round tower,is fascinating! I wonder if the area where the open vaults are old holding vaults of some kind? What another interesting cemetery I guess next year for my vacation is going to be visiting north of San Fran to Colma What is that round structure?
The many times I been to cypress lawn I don’t remember seeing something that odd An abandon area it always good to search why cypress lawn kept that area close off is there something hiding or a big secret😮
It was built in the 30s roughly in the 1980s they said there were some unstable water tables that made it unusable so they had to move people. For liability reasons they keep it locked with no access is what I was told
Seems like you've captured an EVP after saying "It looks like George was born in Scotland and died in San Francisco." At 18:12 you can hear a faint "yeah" as if someone/something was acknowledging you.
I just watched your video here and just want to let you know what this is. Cypress lawn has been like a park for me over the last 40 years . I've done extensive exploring , and studying of the graves there . This area you are speculating on was originally crypts for babies and children. On either side of the stairs there are two doorways that lead to a small room . In this room , stacked against the walls are the original marble crypt covers with all the children's names that were once entombed there . For whatever reason they were taken out and reburied at some point. The reason I know this is because when I started coming here in the early mid 80s , this was all open . The gate was installed sometime in the last 20+ years. A lot of fond memories in my teens , and twenties going in there at night , partying, bringing girls there , you get the picture. I think this structure dates from the late 1890s to earlyish 1900s when the Art Nouveau style was popular . Faux Bois , the concrete railings and benches molded to look like tree branches are classic Art Nouveau.
I’m going to contact the cemetery and see if they will give me permission to, I’m not going to do it without their permission because I don’t want to be banned from the place.
My mom would take my group of friends here in middle school/high school at night back in the 90s. There was a pretty alive group of people then that would hang out in Cypress Lawn at night trying to scare each other/play games, etc. We would bring Ouija boards inside the mausoleums and try to talk to the dead. When you're not old enough to drink, but too old for child entertainment in these pre-always online days - messing around at the cemetery at night was a lot of fun. So many photos and home videos running around there. Eventually we would get in trouble from police/security. The gates were always open, but "no one is allowed after dark." I haven't thought about that underground, hidden crypt area in decades. We used to describe it as a tower that looks like a tree with the vines growing on it. As teenagers we would climb over the fence/wall down into that area. I have photos of the insides of them, there's not much, a bunch of trash and graffiti back then. Everyone back then referred to it as, "Hell."
Did you happen to see a small pond/waterfall area or anything like that? I used to visit that place as a child but have since then moved away, but I cannot stop thinking about this one area. I believe it was part of that cemetery or something like it. I had another dream about that place last night, which made me start searching online to see if there is any footage of the area and all of the ponds in the side hidden areas.
It was never used. Built right before the depression. The deep interior of the huge columbarium above the lake (Lakeside) is empty and beautiful as well. It was fashioned after Diocletian's palace in Split. Hope this helps.
I was wondering when you were going to find the Abandoned Crypts of Mystery! You used to be able to get in there fairly easily, and it wasn't so overgrown. No one who works at Cypress Lawn has been able to tell me anything about this place, either.
No, the last one before that below ground closed off area. They looked like either windows or television screens. I doubt that! But they looked like crypts that were either empty or that they were able to be viewed inside check your film again and you'll see what I mean. It looked kind of neat. Like the dead had a window to look out. Who knows!
I enjoy exploring those beautiful crypts with you, keep up the good work.
That hiding area you found I think to was a holding vault also.Thank you for the tour was great.
Hi Tony how are you doing today what you are showing us is so cool thanks 😊
I love discovering new areas with you! Thank You Soooooo Much! You make my day more interesting!🥰

Always love seeing this cemetery🪦🪦🪦 So much wonderful things!❤ Yeah most likely a receiving/holding vault.
Loved the tour and the secret area; thank you much, Tony! God bless…..🌝
Brilliant video Tony. Thank you for taking us along with you
great tour Crypt door , amazing cemetery
Another fun one
This is a great cemetery. The family mausoleums looked to be in good condition, but need a good sweeping out, and perhaps oil the hinges and
locks on the doors. Since you did this video, were you able to find out
anything from the cemetery management about that tower, and
that enclosed area with the open
crypts? Thank you very much for
great walking tour Tony, have a great day.
We appreciate your tours!!! Enjoy watching you. Great tour today. Sorry I missed the live 😞.
Great tour. Thanks !! Enjoyed
18:12 sounds like a whisper saying "yeah"? Use Headphones
Loving the videos 😊
Thank you.

Just subscribed to your channel. Love coming along with you on these cemetery explores.
Thank You! 👍
thanks
At around 12:04 when you came up on the big round tower,is fascinating!
I wonder if the area where the open vaults are old holding vaults of some kind? What another interesting cemetery
I guess next year for my vacation is going to be visiting north of San Fran
to Colma
What is that round structure?
It’s so covered in Ivy in greenery it’s hard to tell looks like it could’ve been a tower of some kind
The many times I been to cypress lawn I don’t remember seeing something that odd

Wow.... yeah I heard the EVP too! Great catch
Suggestion- since the city of the dead, colma- you might talk about how. Colma became the cemetery area for SFO. Like Paris with the catacombs.
I just watched your video here and just want to let you know what this is.

Well, I heard people were taken out of there because of unstable water tables.
Go in there!

There are some ponds upfront by the entrance

Wow thanks! 👍
Hey come to the South Bay or show some cool graves. Just let me know in May I got two weeks off. Maybe we can do some haunted places or Graves
Those crypts are SOOOOOO ornate!! I wonder whether they build crypts like that these days?! XXXX
They’re not like they use to be
Going by the Duck pond, do you how many creators I try to say HEY WHAT ABOUT SF n Daly City Cemeteries, Olivet having the weeping angel
I guess your next purchase should be a drone with a descent camera on it. 😉
Wow! Just watched this one again, and... GO TO 14:17 IN!!! You can hear a girl giggling!!!
I was wondering when you were going to find the Abandoned Crypts of Mystery! You used to be able to get in there fairly easily, and it wasn't so overgrown.
No one who works at Cypress Lawn has been able to tell me anything about this place, either.
Really? I was going to ask if the office knew they must have records
What were those glass panels in the top row of that last mausoleum ? They looked like windows.
The abandoned area that I found?
No, the last one before that below ground closed off area. They looked like either windows or television screens. I doubt that! But they looked like crypts that were either empty or that they were able to be viewed inside check your film again and you'll see what I mean. It looked kind of neat.

Knockers on the lions? Who would answer the knock? No knocker rings on mausoleum door.
I miss one my reminder did not reminder me hum 😶🌫️
There was at least 3 or 4 spot you could have gotten into that outdoor mausoleum.
If I get in there it’s going to be with permission at the cemetery. I don’t want to be unwelcome there
The hidden part of the cemetery very interesting! Have you been able to find out what it is yet?
Not yet hopefully soon
Harriet is his 3rd wife....... I have added her to findagrave!
Nice! Thanks!
If I knock on a mausoleum door I hope nobody answers🙀😋🚪
You do hear them talking to you right 21:02 - 21:08 PEARL He trying to answer you
Actually I didn’t hear it at first so when somebody posts they heard something with a timestamp like you did I will definitely go back and listen. 👍
See if you can find the story of that abandoned area. Maybe make a second visit to see if you can get inside.
Oh yes I for sure will if they let me in
@@CryptDoor Atleast find out what the story is.
Why did you not slip down into that area to explore?!
It’s off-limits, and it would be a very public record of me trespassing and I do not trespass. And I do not want to be banned from the place.
maybe this is a mausoleum for Woodsman of the World members but never finished.
Maybe. I’m going to ask
Thought the same
I believe that was a bat
Jesus loves you
